A/N
some asked me if I got the idea of this story from Romeo and Juliet
and the answer is no. The only inspiration I had for this was
from my head. So yes I am taking complete and full credit for
the plot idea.

Also
guess what I just realized? There are actually other Slytherin girls
other than Pansy so I didn't have to make up any! Wow if I knew
that this whole story would have been a lot easier. Oh well to late
now.

In
Hell With: Draco Malfoy

Chapter
27

Endings
and New Beginnings

-

They
were taken to a very familiar place. Draco and Hermione knew all the
twists and turns of this castle. They had been going there for six
long years. They were taken to Hogwarts. Hermione sighed with
annoyance as they were dragged threw the front doors.

Could
this man be anymore predictable? Hermione thought. She knew about
the story of Lord Voldemort wanting a job at Hogwarts as the DADA
professor and being denied by Professor Dumbledore. Hogwarts was the
only place he could ever truly call home. I bet we're going to
be taken to the DADA classroom. Where he will give us a whole speech
but will take too long so suddenly someone will pop in and save us
like always. Super.

Well
Hermione got the first part of it right. They were taken to the
Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. The room only had three
people in it, Draco's parents and Lord Voldemort. The doors where
shut and Hermione and Draco where released.

The
room wasn't like Hermione had remembered. It was very bare with only
a desk and a chair, which was occupied by the Dark Lord himself. The
room was dimly lit and Hermione's eyes had to get used to the
lighting.

Lord
Voldemort spoke. "Ah what do we have here? Draco Malfoy and
Potter's friend. What is your name?"

Hermione
didn't say anything. She would not speak to such a vile man.

"You
should show more respect towards your elders, especially ones that
will choose if you live or die."

"Bite
me," Hermione spat.

Voldemort
let out a chuckle. "Such a brave little girl. I can see why Potter
had chosen you for a friend. You know once Potter was dead I thought
I was home free. I had nothing more to worry about, even though
Dumbledore did escape. He ran like a defenseless child. Pathetic. He
was no threat, but then I heard of this miss placed prophecy, one
that gave your kind a second chance. It was about a relative of
Dumbledore's but for some odd reason this relative was kept secret.
She grew up her whole life thinking she was a filthy mudblood only to
recently find out that she was related to the 'all mighty'
Albus Dumbledore. This girl she has a book of mine, just like the one
you're holding now."

Hermione
looked at her Uncle's book. She held it tighter, it belonged to
her.

"Yes
that book was stolen from my dear friend Lucius by what we think was
his son."

"I
did not steal the book." Draco said.

"Of
course you didn't Draco. Now why would you steal the book when you
originally went through all the trouble to get it for your father in
the first place? I was merely suggesting you 'let it slip' to,
what is your name?"

"You
can call me Ms. Dumbledore." Hermione said.

"You
do not have a first name?"

"To
you I do not."

Voldemort
clenched his hands together. "You are getting on my nerves little
girl. I will not tolerate such disrespect."

"Tell
him," Draco whispered to Hermione. "He will torture you if you do
not. We need all of our strength remember that."

"My
name is Hermione." Hermione took Draco's advice. "Hermione
Granger."

"Now
that I know your name this story shall go by much quicker. So where
was I? Oh yes Draco here 'let it slip' to you where the book was.
Is that right?"

"No,"
Draco said.

"Do
you say I am a liar?" Voldemort spat.

"I
do not." Draco said quickly.

Voldemort
turned his attention back towards Hermione. "Did you open that
book?"

"No,"
Hermione lied.

"I
hope you are not lying. Would you like to change that answer?"

Hermione
quickly glanced at Draco and he nodded his head. "Yes I did open
the book."

"And
what was inside it?"

"Why
don't we see for yourself?"

"Wrong
answer." Voldemort said. He lifted his wand and pointed it at
Hermione. "Cir-"

"Wait!"
Draco shouted. "I'll tell you want was in the book."

Voldemort
put down his wand and turned back towards Draco. "Go on."

"It
was a spell to help Granger take you out. The spell gave her super
human strength so that no spell could kill her. Then she would have
the power to destroy you."

"You
lie."

Draco
gulped. "Why do you say that?"

"There
has to be more to it."

Taking
Draco's lead Hermione began to talk. "There is. It only lasts for
a short amount of time. I think a day."

Voldemort
considered this idea. "How does it work?"

"We'll
show you."

"You'll
tell me."

"It's
hard to explain." Hermione protested.

"We
need light." Draco said. "That is the first step. This room will
not do. The spell will not work."

Voldemort
was silent for a few seconds. Hermione waited in anticipation. Was
Voldemort's desire to live forever strong enough to believe Draco?
Was it strong enough for him to take such a risk? But then again at
this point Voldemort does not see teenagers as a risk.

"Take
them where there is light."

"My
Lord?" said Lucius Malfoy.

"Yes
Lucius?

"May
my wife and I have a word with our son?"

Voldemort
smiled. Hermione grimaced. She never thought it possible for someone
to become even uglier when they smiled. His teeth were more like
fangs that were ready to pry into the nearest victim. His eyes went
slant making him resemble and snake. "Of course you can, but make
it quick. I am interested in this spell."

"Draco."

"Father."

"I
am truly disappointed in you."

"I
know."

"You
know what I must do when this all over with?"

"Yes
father."

Narcissa
seemed to be on the verge of tears. "Was this girl worth it Draco?
Is she worth your life?"

"Yes
mother, she is."

Despite
the dark circumstances this made Hermione's heart jump. He truly
did love her. Hermione's sudden moment have happiness was quickly
washed away by Narcissa's out burst.

"Why
Draco? She's just blood filth! A disgusting frizzy haired girl!
What has she done? Tell me she has put some love curse on you. Please
Draco just say the word!" Tears were now pouring from her eyes.

Narcissa
began to sob uncontrollably. Lucius pulled her close to him and
hugged her tightly. "I am sorry my Lord for her behavior."

Hermione
couldn't believe it. Here his wife was having a break down and he
was apologizing for her behavior! It was disgusting. No wonder why
Draco was always verging on the insane side.

"Enough,"
Voldemort said. "I am more interested in this so called spell then
in your sob story. Take them to where there is light." He said to
the two Death Eaters who were acting like guards. They nodded and
each took Hermione and Draco by them arm.

"Ow!
Not so hard! We're not going anywhere." Hermione complained.

"Shut
up," Draco hissed. Her big mouth was going to get all of them in
trouble.

It
was amazing how the two still could fight even when their lives where
on the line. They were already like a married couple, always
bickering.

They
stopped when they were outside of the castle. It was good timing to
since the sun was just coming up. "Wow," Hermione said to Draco.
"We haven't slept for a while."

"You
mean I haven't slept for a while. You had all yesterday morning
while I was waiting outside for you in the cold."

"How
was I supposed to know you would be there?" Hermione snapped.

"Well
I did say I would be didn't I?" Draco smiled.

Hermione
opened her mouth to speak but was instantly silenced by Voldemort.
"Enough with your bickering and tell me the rest of the spell."

"Er,"
Draco started. He looked at Hermione. It seemed that neither of them
had thought of anything.

"Tell
me the rest of the spell." Voldemort was losing his patience.

"I'll
tell you the rest of the spell," drawled a voice from behind them.

Voldemort
turned around to see George Weasley standing behind him. Voldemort
laughed. "Well what do we have here? Red hair, worn out cloths, a
very foul stench, ah you must be what they all a Weasley. So are you
here to save your little friends? Are you going to be a big strong
man and save them all by yourself?" Voldemort mocked.

"Of
course not," George said. He lifted his wand in the air and red
sparks flew out of them. There was a rumble and out of the forest
came about fifty wizards and witches.

The
grin from Voldemort's face did not fade even when the Order began
to advance on him. "Well I have a team of my own." He lifted his
wand and tapped the tattoo on his left arm.

Draco
clenched his arm with pain as it began to burn. "He's calling for
them." Right after Draco said this, about twice as many Death
Eaters emerged from the castle or apparated onto the school grounds.

"I
guess this will be the final battle," Voldemort said to George.

"Oh
it will be Tom," said a wise voice. Hermione quickly looked around
to see who it was.

"Dumbledore!"
Hermione shouted.

"I
would prefer if you would call me Uncle Albus now that we are out
side of school." He grinned.

"No!"
Voldemort said breaking the reunion. "You fled!"

"I
returned."

"You
are a coward."

"I
had lost the battle but now I am here to win the war."

"Then
let the war begin," Voldemort snickered. He waved his wand and
there was a sudden blast of green smoke that filled the ground. When
it cleared Voldemort was gone and the battle began.

Once
again Hermione found herself dodging spells of all sorts. She also
found herself being tugged in two different directions. "Let go of
her," Malfoy scowled.

"Why
don't you?" George snapped.

"Does
anyone else notice that we are in the middle of a battle?" Hermione
asked the two.

"Yes,"
said Draco. "Why do you think I am trying to get you to safety?"

"Well
I don't know if you noticed but we're not moving and there is an
awful big Death Eater heading this way." Hermione snapped at the
two of them.

Instantly
both of them let go of Hermione and turned towards the Death Eater.
Draco pointed his wand at the Death Eater. "Delorious!"
Draco shouted. A purple light flew from his wand and hit the Death
Eater in the chest. He fell to the floor and it seemed like he was
having a seizure.

George
shouted, "Adva Kedavra!" To finish off the job.

"See
if we work as a team we can do it." Hermione pointed out to the two
boys.

"Well
if Weasley here knew what that spell actually was he would have known
the Death Eater would have eventually died."

"Didn't
want to take any risks," George said.

"There
weren't any risks," Draco said sternly.

The
three of them ran and hid behind a statue where they would shoot
curses to any Death Eater passing by. Hermione starred out into the
Hogwarts grounds. It was covered in death and war. She couldn't
believe this is where the final battle was gong to take place.

The
grounds held so many memories to her. This is where she, Ron, and
Harry would have their annual snowball fight, it was where she had
her first kiss, and it was here where she truly realized she was in
love with Draco.

"Look,"
Draco said to Hermione. He pointed at Dumbledore who was running
towards him. "It's probably a Death Eater, we should kill him."
Draco pointed his wand at Dumbledore.

"Don't
be stupid," Hermione snapped. "It obvious who that is and you
know it. No one else has a beard like him."

"She's
right you know," George said.

"Shut
up," Draco said.

Dumbledore
ran behind the statue and sat down on the grass. He was severely out
of breath. "Hermione you must do the spell."

Hermione
shook her head. "I can't."

"You
must."

"How
come you can't do it?" She asked. He knew the spell he was in the
same bloodline. Dumbledore fit all of the require mints.

"I
can not. The creator of a spell this powerful will never be able to
use it. Plus I am too old. I would surely die before the spell had
even begun."

"Are
you saying Hermione might die if she does this spell?" Draco
snapped.

"There
is always a possibility of death."

"Then
she will not do it!" Draco said. He grabbed Hermione's arm and
pulled her away and then he began to run. The two of them started to
runaway together, neither of them looking back. They were heading
towards the forbidden forest. They were so close to escaping, just a
few more steps, but then Hermione stopped.

"What
is it?" Draco asked.

"I
can't leave." Hermione said.

"Isn't
this what you want? Don't you want us to be together? Hermione we
could have a life of our own. We could have kids, a family."

Hermione
looked at the ground. She couldn't bear to look him in the eyes.
"That is what I want, but I know it's not what you want."

"What?
Of course it is! All I want is to be with you."

"No
you said before living a life in hiding is not a way to live! I agree
Draco; we can not live that way! And they are going to find us one
day, we can not hide forever."

"Yes
we can! I promise you they'll never find us. You won't have
anything to worry about!"

"But
I will! Do you not understand? I can't just leave my friends to
suffer! They'll die here today if I don't do anything! If I run
away it'll be selfish. I'm putting my happiness over others!"
Without another word Hermione turned around and headed back towards
the battle field.

"What
are you doing?" Draco shouted. He started to run after her.

"Here
take this." Hermione shoved a piece of paper in his hands.

"What
is it?"

"It's
the spell to defeat Voldemort."

"What?
I can't do it! I'm not part of your bloodline." Draco
protested.

Hermione
grabbed Draco's shoulders and shook him. "That doesn't matter!
You only have to be related to Dumbledore to read the book not do
that curse!"

"And
what makes you think that I will kill you?" Draco asked her.

"You
don't have too!" Hermione shouted. She ran closer to the battle
field. She spotted a duel that would surely go down in history,
Voldemort and Dumbledore where dueling one on one in the center of
the battle. Hermione stopped and watched the battle for a few
seconds. If Dumbledore could win she wouldn't have to die. It
didn't seem like that was going to happen. Dumbledore was becoming
weaker by the second and completely answer Hermione's question
Voldemort shouted, "Curcio!" Dumbledore instantly fell to
the ground.

Without
thinking Hermione ran closer into the battle field. "Hey dumb ass!"
she shouted at the nearest Death Eater. He turned and starred at her.
"Yeah you in the black hood, want to duel?"

Draco's
jaw dropped open. The stupid bitch! She was practically committing
suicide. Draco couldn't let her do that. He lifted one foot in front
of the other and he was on his way.

The
Death Eater pointed his wand at Hermione. Hermione bravely stood
there. She wasn't going to move. Draco was stilling running to
catch up to her. If only he could get there in time, he would die
instead of her. It was too late. "Adva Kedavra!" The shot
was fired. Hermione closed her eyes and fell to the floor.

But
the strangest thing happened, she wasn't dead. She opened her eyes
to see a lifeless George lying on top of her. His eyes where shut and
his body was limp. "Oh George…" she whispered.

"Adva
Kedavra!" The Death Eater who had killed George fell to the
ground. Hermione felt herself being lifted up by Draco. "Well do
the curse."

"I
don't have a sacrifice."

Draco
looked down at George. "Well I think he was willing enough."

Hermione
glared at him.

"We
don't have time for this! Look Dumbledore's about to die."
Draco shouted, even though he could careless about the old fool. He
just wanted to get this whole thing over with.

Hermione
turned her head and saw Dumbledore breathing hard and Voldemort
laughing. She took the paper back from Draco and pointed her wand at
George. "Racheto desliebe!" she shouted. George's chest
shot up as if it was being lifted by an invisible string. A round
golden ball slowly floated out of his body. It floated towards the
tip of Hermione's wand. When the two touch the small orb slowly began
to absorb into it.

Hermione
turned and faced Draco. She needed reinsurance. "Do it." He said.
Hermione opened her mouth to say the spell. Suddenly she felt herself
being squeeze and embraced with a passionate kiss. Draco let Hermione
go. "I love you," he said.

"I
love you too." Hermione paused for a minute. She wanted one last
glance at Draco. With a final breath Hermione opened her mouth and
shouted, "Mordblut Voldemort!" A bright blue orb flew
out of her wand. It floated into the sky and began to expand. It
became a flat round circle covering all of Hogwarts. All around them
it began to become dark. It was blocking out the light. Everyone
stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

The
flat blue circle began to lower itself towards the ground. Everyone,
not knowing what is was started to throw all different types of
spells at it. Each time it got hit the curse seemed to absorbed the
other curses causing it to become more powerful.

The
curse was now near the ground, touching most people. It continued to
go down a little further until it was about four and a half feet of
the ground. Everyone lifted up there hands so that it wasn't
touching the blue orb. There was silence as people waited for it to
react. Hermione kept her eyes on Voldemort.

Suddenly
the curse shrunk back into a small blue orb then expanded causing
what seem to be silent, blue, explosion. It hit Voldemort directly.
The force pushed him about twenty feet in the air and then suddenly
he just disappeared. The blast was heading towards Hermione now. She
closed her eyes, readying herself for the impact. Hermione felt
herself getting knocked off her feet. She was ready to suffer the
same fait Voldemort did. She had to be twenty feet in the air now.
Time seemed to slow down. She felt like she was dying and that
everything around her was fading away. She was snapped back into
reality by the shock of sharply hitting the ground. Hermione didn't
bother to open her eyes. She knew Voldemort was dead, she had seen
him disappear. She didn't want to see what the result of the war was.
She didn't want to see Draco's lifeless body. Suddenly she began to
feel tired. She was fading back to the universe in which time
stopped.

Hermione
felt herself being shaken. "Hermione, Hermione!" the voice said.
Hermione twisted away. She was so tired she didn't want to get up.
"Hermione! Wake up! It's over! Please wake up Hermione!" Who
ever it was was getting on her nerves. Couldn't he see that she was
sleeping? "Hermione!" he shouted.

Annoyed
Hermione opened her eyes and looked up. "I'm up-" Hermione's
eyes opened wide. She couldn't see the persons face because it was
covered in a mess of blond hair, but she knew exactly who it was.
Hermione swung her arms around Draco and pulled him to the ground.
Tears started to pour down from her eyes. "You're not dead."
Hermione said.

"No
I am, you're hugging a ghost remember?" Draco said playfully.

Hermione
squeezed Draco even harder. "Oh shut up will you?"

Draco
laughed. "Never."

"Hermione!
Hermione!" Hermione turned to look who was shouting her name. She
saw Ron, Lavender, and Neville running over towards her.

"What
the hell are you babbling about Weasley?" Draco snapped. It was
very rude of him to ruin the whole 'the world is saved' mood.

"George."
Ron said. "He's dead?"

Hermione
nodded. "I'm sorry Ron."

"How?"

Hermione
finally let go of Draco and hugged Ron instead. "He died a hero. He
saved my life and the world's."

Ron
embraced Hermione's hug. "He loved you." He told her.

"He
loved you too," she responded.

They
let go of each other. "I know," Ron said. "I know."

Hermione
let out a little scream as she was being swooped into the air. She
felt a smooth beard against the back of her neck. "Bravo Hermione!
Bravo!" Professor Dumbledore chanted. He put Hermione back on the
ground and grabbed his back. "I knew I shouldn't have done that,
I get back pains."

Draco
starred at him. "Weren't you just dying a minute ago?"

"Oh
the adrenaline rush always gets the best of me," Dumbledore
replied positively.

Hermione
chuckled. "Can I ask you something?"

"Go
ahead." Dumbledore said still clenching his back.

"How
come Draco didn't die when the curse hit?" Hermione asked.

"Why
would he?"

"Er
because 'all that is Voldemort will die'" Hermione quoted.

"Oh,"
Dumbledore said. "That didn't include Death Eater's. Look
around you. They're all still here, knocked out but they're here.
When I said all of Voldemort I meant all of his souls."

"Oh,"
Hermione said feeling pretty stupid.

Draco
took her hand. "It looks like we'll be together after all."

Six
months had past since the final battle. The ministry was rebuilt and
everything was restored back to order. Death Eaters where not thrown
into jail but were allowed back to there families. They were
constantly watched though. Instead of having the Dark Mark on their
left arm they had a tracking device. It all worked out for the
better.

Hermione
smiled as she stood in front of the large crowd of people in her
elegant white dress. She glanced at Draco who returned it with a
smile. He was looking awfully gorgeous in the black tux that he was
wearing.

"Do
you Hermione Granger take Draco Malfoy to be your magically wedded
husband?"

It
had taken Hermione and Draco a while to get their wedding together.
They had so much to do before the big day. Draco left for a month
trying to fix his family. He told Hermione that he didn't want to
live the rest of his life with his parents hating him. Plus even the
elders need help sometime. Hermione on the other hand spent the time
with the Weasley's helping them coupe with their losses. Then when
they finally got to see each other again they still couldn't have
their wedding. Ron and Lavender where having theirs that month.
Lavender had gotten pregnant and at the thought of her parents
finding out that she was having a baby before she got married, well
scared the crap out of her.

"I
do," Hermione smiled.

"And
do you Draco Malfoy take Hermione Granger to be your magically wedded
wife?"

The
next couple of months weren't that great either. Hermione had just
started her first job and Draco had to go away again because his
father had to go to court. Then finally after six months they decided
to have their wedding, on Halloween. It was Draco's request. He
always had a thing for scaring people. Hermione wasn't too fond of
the idea until the day of the wedding when she saw had elaborate the
church was decorated. It was spookily beautiful.

"I
do," Draco said.

"You
may now kiss the bride."

Draco
and Hermione leaned into each other giving a more then passionate
kiss. The crowd cheered and applauded. Ron whistled and Pansy yelled
a, "You go girl!"

When
they broke away from their first kiss as a married couple all that
Draco said was, "So when are we going to have kids?"
